Theres always some kind of introductory meeting on the first night and i can personally say that theyre never awkward for me. I walk in and am like wassup and immediately am the most open person in the room and it kinda puts other people at ease. And its not just because i've been on lots of cruises but because i go in with the mindset that in 3-7 days i'll never see these people again so theres no time for being awkward or shy, so I'm friendly to everyone and get them talking if the teen director doesnt.

yeahh Its not awkward for everyone...cuz some people are really comfortable and not shy at all. ever. but others are so i think the general atmosphere is awkward for like the first hour...cuz then people start to warm up to each other and have fun =]

I generally remain comfortable; last cruise especially. And I'll agree. first hour is usually worst.
